Ugh I was just going to post that, but either way I bought my fisher to 50 and set back my -plans for 3 star crafting :/
Well if your looking for me I'll be at the dry docks....

1st run of ST and walked out with oil twice. Tanks don't wanna MT either? I'll do that too and still don't know the rest of the run~

[Taint]

Did a last ditch ST before bed last night. Lotted on every drop just trying to get something. Ended up losing lot on the 4 i100 pieces and got an oil. ^^

Finally started doing hunts last night and apparently Ragnarok on an NA evening is like a hippie commune. People sit and wait for every pop, even Bs. Managed to get 610 points in 4 hours just from A's and B's (No books and no S's popped). Managed to get full credit on every single A mob in game during that time period, some twice.

Malboro is pretty much the same way. People usually wait on Bs, and you get all kinds of shit if you don't wait on an A. Thank god coz I very rarely actually find a mob first.

Don't come to hyperion >.> It's fuckin hell out here.

I'm not sure if it's a win or fail, but I'll put it here anyway. Good friend of mine still didn't get his ST item for the week yesterday so like 5 of us get together to help him. We're being retarded just having fun in /s and party saying we're new and pulling when the alliance has barely entered the lockout area and throwing out #yolo on alliance chat, shit like that. I was tired as fuck and seemed hilarious at the time, much laughs we're had on Skype. Anyway, we do our first run and it was actually good besides us fuckin up intentionally, oil drops and our guy misses the lot by 10 points. The 2 randoms in our group we're claiming this was the smoothest run they had ever had, etc etc. We do another run, we're still acting stupid with the "am nu cn u pl0x giv gil so eye can lern 2 bee gud" shit, early pulls, etc. Oil drops, out guy wins. Both randoms are claiming it was the smoothest run they had ever been on also. I'm not sure if they're fishing for comms (do people still do this?) or if ST really is that bad in general. I usually grab my item in the first 3 runs and I havn't had a shitty run since the one time we couldn't beat Sylla and the alli had vote canceled the duty

The smoothness of a ST run is correlated to when peoples motivation to enter are highest, that is Tuesday on reset day and Monday before reset day. ST then closes down and becomes a school for special needs children after.

It's Europe late night/early morning, so the few people doing hunts then are actually dedicated (and few) enough to get that result. If sleeping wasn't such an absoultely great thing to do, I'd be getting up at 6 am or so to hunt effectively.

I think it was a one-off anyway. Tonight during the same time period it was awful. 1-2 parties were just insta-pulling on arrival every time.

Then rather hilariously 2 A's popped at the same time and people split up. Some of the people who went to the first A threw a fucking fit because people wouldn't reset the second A despite them dicking over everyone else by insta-pulling all night and not resetting a single mob.

Two completely contrasting nights but both were enjoyable in their own ways!

[solracht]

We got our 8 main weapons in 9 Nael kills.

Something tells me Coil3 is going to be awful.

Finished melding all the new accessories. Have a few that aren't perfectly melded while some are, but sitting at 626 GP, 413 Gathering, 402 Perception with no food.

Solid, but is there a use for all that? I took a look at upgrading my Botanist a bit, but I've got 600CP, and can gather from the 408 nodes with food. I'm just stockpiling Redolent logs for the new tool, getting my daily maps, and very little else.

Honestly? Not really. I mean you gain a little bit on the gathering/HQ rate on some stuff, but like.. it isn't totally needed. I mostly started wanting to be able to gather everything without ever needing food, and now I guess I"m just future proofing a little in case they release more shit. Still nice to have the two main stats over 400 though

Thanks to Kaixin for answering my questions.

Top took me 15 hours, bottoms took me another 7. I uh... I basically did nothing but this for the past week once I saw it.

Spoiler: show

[Neon_Sea]

How many SS's and what was your % on them?

[Kipling]

I didn't do SS. I knew for a fact Gigantshark's (top) and Octomammoth (bottoms) were confirmed to desynth into them, so I went for the sure thing. I just haven't seen a screenshot of a Sovereignd dropping it so I didn't risk it.

My % on sharks when doing it was like 48 at first, by the time I got the top it had gone up to about 56%.

On Octomammoth's it was 56-64% before I got it.

[Neon_Sea]

Nice dude, I'm after the cotton but thats good to know.
